Betrayal

It feels like an interruption of the most intense conversation your lips have ever touched
It looks like a corpse on a cold slab with a toe tag that reads trust
It tastes like vomit after a long night of poisoning yourself to forget
It smells like the set ablaze burning of your own personal safety net
It looks like the decomposition of a relationship altogether
Something you were swayed to believe would last forever
